Mr. Doug's Restaurant has been a cornerstone of Yelm, Washington for decades. Nestled in the Nisqually Plaza at 107 Nisqually Plaza, it's the kind of place that long-time residents grew up visiting and newcomers quickly fall in love with.
This is family-owned cooking at its best — generous portions, scratch-made favorites, and a staff that treats every guest like a regular. Whether you're a local who has been coming in for 23 years or a visitor who stumbled in after a long drive, Mr. Doug's delivers the same warm welcome and satisfying meal every single time.
The all-day breakfast menu is legendary in Yelm. The Country Fried Steak has been praised as among the best in the Pacific Northwest. The lemon pancakes have their own fan club. And the Turkey Dinner — well, guests have been known to visit in the middle of summer just for that one plate.
All-day breakfast served every day. Hours may vary on holidays — call ahead to confirm.
Yelm's favorite diner is open every morning at 7AM. We'll save you a table.
